Chapter 89"What do you mean by price?" she asked Hmm.. Lucas sighed"You have started again, tell me the price now""The price is in my room, can you go and get it," Lucas said Sheila looked at him with scornful eyes and she smiled, she felt Lucas had missed her but just pretending. "Why the room? Or do you want to go for a talk like my dad and mom did" she teased. Lucas coughed out and searched Sheila's face. He began to laugh sarcastically and his mouth was agape after the laugh. They were both adults who understood the body language of Mr Blake, no one needed to tell them what he was up to whenever he called his wife for a talk, if nothing like intimacy happened, cuddling and caressing would happen. Lucas was short of words, he looked at Sheila like someone whose heart was stabbed with a word, what a naughty child was he? Why would she be making jest of her parents? He told Sheila never to mind about knowing about the "Price" that would tell her some other day, it seemed She
Chapter 90Lucas blamed himself for what he did for Sheila, he was scared that Sheila might not have the strength to maintain the power. He was ready to put everything on himself because Sheila was on the verge of being hurt, he could not stand anything bad to happen to her because she was her helper. He watched her till she slept off and found his way out of the room. Celebrity is free to use force whenever they like and whenever they are going out, but her name had not been recorded in an influential book because no brand had reached out for her to show her face in their product or present at a big banquetHe made a phone call to Jasper to provide some of his gang to watch over Sheila, he told them they would work in two ways until she was safe. "Hello, Jasper" "Hello boss""Can you provide me with unfamiliar faces that can watch after my woman""Yes, boss"He explained how they would work in order not to be identified by Coopers and Lydia. Cooper's family knew he used Jasper, if
Chapter 91Lucas was puzzled, warmth coursed through his spine when he saw Dr Ken, he didn't know what to say, why would the whole head doctor come because of him? He thought he was not that important that the head doctor would show up at the entrance of Sheila's house. He had never rendered any help or given him money apart from the one given him when he treated him. Dr. Ken proved to him that humanity still exists. "Good evening sir" Lucas greeted "Good evening Lucas, where is she? "Dr. Ken asked"She is Inside sir" He led Dr Ken and assisted him in carrying the box containing mobile medical equipment. Mr. Blake was pestering Sheila to let them take her to the hospital but she didn't respond, he didn't want to annoy her because he saw Sheila's pain had not healed. To be candid, it's hard to grow up without their parents. Life was a living hell for Sheila, if she could remember what she had seen from her guidance, she might not forgive her parents. Sheila lived from friend to fa
Chapter 92Sheila opened her and appreciated Dr. Ken. "Thank you, sir," she said"I didn't come here for your wedding, why would it be for sickness Sheila?" he asked"I can see that you took good care of Lucas very well, well done for that. when are inviting me to your wedding" he teasedLucas and Sheila's eyes met, and a faint smile spread across Sheila's face. No one knew about their fake relationships, why would Dr.Ken ask about marriage?, she believed Lucas and Dr. Ken might discuss her. No doubt, from the look on Lucas's face, she knew he loved her and might be interested in having a relationship with her. Dr. Ken stood up prepared to leave, she urged Sheila to take her drug accordingly and that she should rest. Sheila's mother appreciated the doctor for finding them worthy. Lucas's phone beeped, he received a text message from Mr. Mayor. As he glanced at his phone, he winced, biting his lip upon seeing the message. Aware that he couldn't leave with Sheila being unwell, he co
Chapter 93.Lucas didn't like talking about Sheila behind her back or telling anyone what happened between them but Fabian never stopped pestering him because of the messages he sent him, he split the beans and told him that Sheila was sick and she had been taken care of.Immediately Lucas alighted from the car, someone grabbed him from the back, he turned to see who the person was and he saw Madam Cinderella, anger surged in him not only for being grabbed but also by the person that looked abnormal. "Why would this woman use her filthy hand to touch him? " he cursed Madam Cinderella quickly knelt, she had lost a lot of weight. her complexion lacked any hue, her lips exhibited faint cracks, revealing dryness, and her face had turned pale and said "Have mercy on me, I know I made a mistake that day, you are the reason why I'm like this"Lucas muttered and said, "Is this what Mr Mayor invited me for? Why do I have to be in his mess?" He gritted his teeth in anger and wanted to walk awa
Chapter 94"King Marcus is one of the most powerful figures in this country, he is the head of Baxure Cooperation, his Cooperative used to lead until my company emerged as the first last year and this caused a rift between us. He threatened that my cooperation would go into extinction, I thought it was just a mere threat until everything began to crumble in my eyes." he felt sober as he explained "Marcus will find you," Mr. Mayor said. Lucas chuckled after listening to Mr. Mayor, he didn't know he was experienced. Mr. Mayor underrated him because he had not heard of him and his business he thought he was just an ordinary person that King Marcus could get easily. Mr Mayor was surprised that everything he said about King Marcus did not affect his demeanour, he looked at Lucas as if he didn't understand him and wanted to say another thing before Lucas cut in and said "I know him, I just wanted you to tell me more about him. I have worked for him and I know how powerful he is" he retor
Chapter 95Furrowed brows and clenched jaw softened into a forced smile as he turned to respond to Madam Cinderella, masking his initial anger.His mind was still on what he saw on his phone."Why would he text him for a simple thing, this shows his level of incompetence" he muttered silently Mr. Mayor appreciated Lucas for his contribution to settling the rift between his wife and asked for his permission. They continued their discussion because he noticed that Lucas's demeanour had changed as he fixed his gaze on his phone. Lucas let out a faint smile and dropped his phone beside him, he told Mr. Mayor to continue their discussion about King Marcus. Mr. Mayor sighed and said "I don't know the level of information you have about King Marcus, but you must be careful and be ready before he gets you, the last person who showed interest in assisting me was dropped by his men." he eyes beamed with fear as he said this and pushed for a while. Lucas was still unshaken by all he said, it
Chapter 96Fabian focused his attention on the car he was driving, he did not know what had transpired between his friend and Mr. Mayor, and he didn't want to add fuel to the burning fire with his question, he knew Luacs would speak up when he was tired. Lucas clenched his hand on the phone and said "How could he send me this silly text? He is just a useless man" he cursed as he gazed at his phoneSean had texted him when he was with Mr. Mayor, he messaged him that all the billboards he posted on the advert for the blockbuster movie had been dismantled together with all the posters they posted on them. The part that got Luxas angry was when he ended his text with what to do next. Why would someone who had managed a company for 10 good years not know what to do when this kind of thing happened? He told Fabian about the text and Fabian showed his disappointment in Lucas for getting angry over little things. "Do you mean that thing is little?" he asked gritting his teeth"Sure, it is
“You and scene are 5 and 6, you don't want to be humiliated alone, you drag damsel Sheila into it; what is all these fragrance all about?” Jared berrated.Lydia could not help but snorted when Jared called Sheila a damsel; he knew Jared still had interest in her but was glad that Sheila didn't give him a chance.“Mr. Jared, please do not talk to him in that manner,” Sheila pleaded.“How do you want me to address this address, damsel? He is just nothing but garbage, I regretted ever having anything to do with your ex because he has affected her life with his ill luck, Look at her over there waiting to seduce the CEO; if not, she would have lashed on you.” he Explained “Sheila, do not stop him, let me see how much he is willing to take, I'm sure he will regret every action,” facing Jared, “Do you remember what I told you the first time we met?”He blinked his eyes continuously and asked, “How could I remember what pauper like you told me? You are nothing but trash, so get the hell out
Lucas and Sheila walked in like a newlywed couple.All eyes were on them; some couldn't believe what they saw; the clothes they were wearing were screaming wealth.Lydia rolled her eyes toone side as she saw them and muttered, “Lucas and Drama, who did he want to impress? He wore a fake designer to feel among them.” Two ladies who had attacked Sheila came before them and stopped them from moving forward.“Where do you think you are going? You have heard that the CEO won't make it here today, and you invited your pauper boyfriend to show up with fake designers,” one of the ladies told them.“Stay out of our way,” Sheila warned them, but they refused. “You and your stinky boyfriend should leave this venue now before we disrespect you.”A sly grin escaped from the corner of Lucas' mouth as she watched them rant.“It is obvious that you ladies are tired of working here; you will soon be served your relief of appointments,” Lucas said.“Who is he that will serve us relief from duty?” “Y
Chapter 193Sheila smiled and threatened, "We never had a quarrel, but you chose to fight when I'm peaceful. I will pretend I didn't hear everything you have said. You ladies should walk away because you won't escape if I take it up with you.”“Splendid! Are you threatening us? What can you do?” one of them said, rolling her eyes.“Absolute nothing when you lied that you are the CEO’s wife and you are a snitch who is dating your friend's ex, the useless and pauper man your friend rejected, and you picked it up. Good for you because you like trash. Today will be your last day in this company because we heard the CEO and his wife are coming. We will make sure we tell them how you want to steal this place and claim it as your own,” she smiled sinisterly as she rested her hands on her waist. Sheila wasn't surprised when she mentioned her friend; she knew they might be instigated by Lydia to fight her. Despite their bullying, she smiled and maintained a calm demeanor. She had been warned
“Ma’am, your husband is rich, you wearing the most expensive diamond ring 20 million dollars,”Sheila was not happy with the way these couple were valuing her ring, they spoke in sarcasm that she could not understand, and this got sheila angry she thought they were devaluing her ring and snapped at them, “No matter how much it is, please spare me, allow me to do my hair thank you,”“Ma’am, being our role model, we will like to have picture with you,” the lady asked Sheila sighed heavily, she regretted meeting these people early in the morning. She accepted to take picture with them and the man said she should show her ring in the picture because they could not afford it.Sheila scoffed and sneered,“You can't afford $20 ring and you claim to be rich, what a joke!” The man responded politely,“Not a joke ma, twenty million dollars is not small money, only rich people like you can afford it,”Sheila released her anger and asked in disbelieving tone,“You mean my ring worth twenty million
“Not burning,”“You want to tell me the smoke coming out is heat?” she asked jokingly. “Yeah, it is; I'm a better cook,” he smirked.Yeah, you are.”“Why did you admit so fast?”“No, energy to drag,”“Oh, I see,”Thank you for everything; you paid for the clothes.”Yeah, with the money you gave me.”The money she gave him was one million, and the clothes and jewellery cost fifteen million. “I didn't know how much Kayle paid for the clothes, but I'm sure you can buy your own.”“I will take you to hairstyle tomorrow; I would have brought them home for home service, but I like taking precautions; don't bring strangers to your house.”“You are right, it is quite dangerous, and more so, the house owner would come soon; he might not like many people into his house except people he brought himself,” she admitted. ***Lucas departed for his room after eating dinner with Sheila. He was thinking of what would happen the next day when his phone beeped. John sent him a text about the latest s
Chapter 190The manager who had moved to the reception to arrange chairs for them to sit on before she arrived saw her going back and asking, "I called you for a customer, and you spun, what has come over you?”The lady sneered, “Look at the people you called me for. Do they look like someone who can afford a scarf here? They might probably miss their way,” Pointing out as if she was giving them direction, “Please go to either Harrisos Coutour Extensions, not Executive here, you will be able to pick one or two things there, an ordinary scarf here costs a fortune.”The manager walked to the fashion expert and slapped her. The sound of the slap echoed in the store, the store representative kept her head down. She swirled and tears began to fall from her eyes uncontrollably. She was shocked that the manager could slap her for the low-life customers. She reluctantly took them to the showroom with her hand covering her face where she was slapped. The manager knew she would take reveng
Chapter 189.Sheila felt bad after receiving the news that she had no money in her bank account and that Lucas had not yet gotten new clothes for the celebration tomorrow. She didn't want to feel bad because it would hurt Lucas; instead, she continued her play and fell on the bed. The play was too much for Lucas; he had a lot to do in preparation for tomorrow's premiere. He was waiting for Sheila to announce that she had gotten the money, but she didn't say anything. "Did she keep the news of getting 5 million dollars from him, or had Steve not sent it?" he mumbled under a breathHe wanted to take his phone and ask, but Sheila didn't let him be; she kept laughing and giggling. He didn't want to stop her either because she had been moody for a while on the CEO's wife's matterHer phone beeped but still played. "Stop it!" Lucas exclaimed in a playful tone. “You have a message on your phone.”“I'm not interested in the message; let me off it.” She stood up and took her phone. She op
Chapter 187He thought she was worried about the humiliation she would face that day. He saw her walking to the kite and followed her. He went "Kayle,""I don't have provisions; please go to a nearby store and get me some.""Okay, ma, but I am cooking."Who owns the food? "You, ma, master, said I should prepare it for you.""Don't worry, I will continue it. Tell the driver to take you to the nearest store.""Okay ma,""Kayle met Lucas and told him that Sheila sent her errand."Lucas eyes widened as he saw Sheila card with Kayle and asked,Hope you are not going to the market.""I am going to the mall to get provisions, sir.""Shit, there is no money in that card."Let me inform her.""No, do not. Go and get your card, and I will transfer money to you right away. Are you using the same bank details I have?""Yes, sir,""Okay, go,"Transfer $5,000 to Sheila and tell her from the CEO to prepare for the coming Premiere. Do it exactly after 2 hours. "Okay sir,"Lucas went to the kitchen
Chapter 187She felt another surge of anger as she read the part where it said all the artists would be given awards. She talked loudly and said, "Including the riff raffs, ptf... Elite should hold its stinky award for its dirty people; I don't do with the crowd; anytime it has a standard award, I should be invited." She talked so loudly that her mother could hear where she was, but she was unfazed; she thought Lydia was just talking to get her attention. She wondered where she was. Lydia wanted to drop her phone on the couch again. Her eyes swiftly caught the CEO on the text message, but she could not fathom what the CEO was doing in the message immediately. She instantly took the phone back and read the text message again. Her eyes lit up instantly; her eyes were brimming with joy as she read the CEO part. She thought another chance had come for her, and she had to be smart to take it. She walked to her room to check her poster and her skin. She saw that she had not been taking
